@Dbug: I'm used to use XA and I'm now testing CA65 due to the lack of a real macros support with XA.

Is there any particular macro stuff you are looking for?

There are two things I'd like to add to XA one day: Ability to include binary files directly (incbin) and possibility to repeat a number of lines of code with some variables evaluation - for example to expand a block of lines of code while automatically computing absolute addresses of each instruction -

In fact, i don't like ca65 syntax, when i code something in assembly, i use xa.

The problem is that i use cc65 for Orix tool (with telemon3.0). I wrote a new tool in assembly, but i need to add command line parameter, i am too lazy to code it in assembly. That is why, i want to link xa code with cc65

Hmm, so cc65 has native command line support, how does that work exactly?

I assume the command line parameters are written somewhere, like maybe in the BASIC interpreter line buffer, and then it's parsed?

If we can have something standard, we can probably add that to the OSDK, that sound like a reasonable extension to have

And yes, ca65 was mostly designed as a "assembler for tools", I can't imagine anyone sane wanting to use write code in ca65 syntax.

It's a bit tricky to do macro in XA, but 100% of my own needs are working with Xa macro.

What I could do, is to add an explanation on the top of the XA documentation page on OSDK.org explaining that this is not the official version, and redirect people to http://www.floodgap.com/retrotech/xa/ if they want the official one.

This option probably got broken when I did some work on the pre-processor to fix some bugs and other weird behavior.
If all -M does is to allow/disallow the parsing of : in commented lines, maybe I should just remove it.
